Product details

Explained briefly, the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle is a model for carrying out change. It is an essential part of the lean manufacturing philosophy and a key prerequisite for continuous improvement of people and processes. First, proposed by Walter Shewhart and later developed by William Deming, the PDCA cycle became a widespread framework for constant improvements in manufacturing, management, and other areas.

Plan. At this stage, you will literally plan what needs to be done. Depending on the project’s size, planning can take a major part of your team’s efforts. It will usually consist of smaller steps so that you can build a proper plan with fewer possibilities of failure.

Do. At this stage, you will apply everything that has been considered during the previous stage. You may first try to incorporate your plan on a small scale and in a controlled environment. Standardization is something that will definitely help your team apply the plan smoothly. Make sure that everybody knows their roles and responsibilities.

Check. This is probably the most important stage of the PDCA cycle. If you want to clarify your plan, avoid recurring mistakes, and apply continuous improvement successfully, you need to pay enough attention to the Check phase. Here, you need to audit your plan’s execution and see if your initial plan actually worked.

Act. If everything seems perfect and your team managed to achieve the original goals, then you can proceed and apply your initial plan. It can be appropriate to adopt the whole plan if objectives are met. Respectively, your PDCA model will become the new standard baseline. However, every time you repeat a standardized plan, remind your team to go through all steps again and try to improve carefully.

Planners will find this template useful. Also, this template can be used by department heads to monitor the implementation of the department’s work plan and, if necessary, make changes in a timely manner.
